"Wait, Esteban Askari… are you Sofia's brother?" Lilian asked.
"Yes!" Esteban shouted excitedly.
'What? This guy is Sofia's brother?'
Orion looked at Esteban in disbelief. Sofia seemed so sharp and intelligent, while this guy was… well, dumber than a rock.
'Now that I think about it, they do look similar. And both of them are pretty eccentric,' Orion thought.
As if summoned by their thoughts, Sofia arrived.
"Well, well. Everyone seems to be here," Sofia said from behind, catching them all by surprise. "You've found yourself a tough crowd to hang out with, Esti."
"Stop calling me Esti! That's such an ugly nickname!" Esteban shouted. "Instead, you can call me East from now on."
"East?" Sofia blinked in confusion.
"Yeah. I gave him that nickname, and he seems to like it," Orion said before Esteban could argue.
"Oh? Hello, Mr. Orion. You and my brother seem to have become friends," she said with a smile.
